Fischer: America in the World Lecture Series--Dr. Rebecca Hamlin

Fischer InstituteIn the third installment of this lecture series, Professor Hamlin will examine reactions to Central American arrivals at the U.S./Mexico border since 2014, focusing on the moments in which public figures or media outlets refer to people as refugees or migrants. Advocates in the United States have suggested that Central American arrivals represent “a refugee tragedy in our own backyard” (L.A. Times, October 2015). The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in 2014 asked the U.S. government to “recognize that this is a refugee situation, which implies that they shouldn't be automatically sent to their home countries but rather receive international protection.” The Trump administration, however, has threatened to stop meeting its international protection obligations in the face of a “caravan” of asylum seekers coming from Honduras. This talk explores the degree to which migrant/refugee binary logic is apparent in both his harsh anti-immigrant policies and responses to it.
This lecture is co-sponsored…Wednesday, April 24, 2019, 3:45 PM – 4:45 PM.Davis Hall - Rooms 205/207.
